Description

The
div()
function computes the value
numerator/denominator and
returns the quotient and remainder in a structure
named div_t that contains
two integer members (in unspecified order) named quot and rem.
The quotient is rounded toward zero.
The result satisfies quot*denominator+rem = numerator.

The
ldiv(),
lldiv(),
and
imaxdiv()
functions do the same,
dividing numbers of the indicated type and
returning the result in a structure
of the indicated name, in all cases with fields quot and rem
of the same type as the function arguments.
